Staff Writer Tom Hopkins: FIFA 17 took a huge step forward this year. Considering the continued improvement we are seeing in the Pro Evolution Soccer series, EA Sports needed to make significant changes to prevent their franchise from becoming stale.

The switch to EA’s Frostbite engine and the addition of a story driven mode called The Journey, freshens up the gameplay whilst adding something FIFA has always needed, a single player mode to sink your teeth into.

The engine change has dramatically improved the visuals, making the stadiums, pitches, and players look far more realistic. Players are also more intelligent in attack, more physical in defense, and more composed in front of goal, creating a much more authentic simulation of the sport. The Journey’s tale of a young player attempting to make it in the fiercest league in the world is detailed, well-written, and authentically performed by its excellent cast.

On top of these changes, everything FIFA is known for is still there. The compelling Ultimate Team mode that makes you obsess over every detail of your squad, the deep career mode that tests your abilities as a manger, and Pro Clubs that gives you and your friends a chance to play together whilst improving as an individual. FIFA 17 offers a ton of variety and made the right improvements in gameplay to make this year’s iteration a huge success.
